Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and other community health clinics (CHCs) provide comprehensive primary health care for underserved patients. Recently, high-sensitivity and high-specificity fecal occult blood tests (FOBT) and fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) have emerged as a preferred initial screening modality within clinics due to convenience, ease of use, and low cost compared with colonoscopy. FOBT/FIT may help to reduce colorectal cancer screening (CRC) screening disparities and overcome several previously mentioned factors that often account for suboptimal CRC screening rates.
